With recent reminders of ever -present epidemic of death & disruption caused by domestic violence, it's a good feeling to be able to help out a little today. Our family is helping furnish a new DV sanctuary house for a mum & her young kids. Somewhere to be safe & call their own.
As a kid, I grew up around one scary male parent, had 2 "fathers" & saw the impact of alcohol & toxic male anger time & time again. I especially identify with the kids in these relationships. And I marvel at the strength of the Mums.
Organisations like Friends with Dignity @friendswdignity seek donations of goods & time, cash and corporate sponsorship.

We started getting ready last night! Everyone loves a flat pack!
From empty room to girl's bedroom in one arvo.
They'll have a lounge ready to go in their new place
Assembly weapons of choice. Even the teenagers came along and helped today. And someone brought two doggos
The Mum will get a new room as well.
And the kids get toys!
And everyone can sit and have dinner together with their new gear.
By old back is killing me, but what a great feeling to have done something useful. ❤️
I wish we were better at seeing domestic violence, caring more about preventing it and helping the many whise lives are forever affected by it. 💔
